Description
Shashi Tharoor explores the rich diversity of Hinduism in this thought-provoking book. He delves into its origins, philosophical concepts and everyday practices, offering a nuanced understanding of the religion. Tharoor also tackles the controversy surrounding 'Hindutva', an extremist form of nationalism that has been endorsed by India's current government. He argues that Hinduism's diversity is what makes it so resilient, and that narrow fundamentalism poses a threat to India's democracy. By examining both the positive and negative aspects of Hinduism, Tharoor sheds light on the complexities of this ancient faith.
